Masseto 2018 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Toscana IGT 100% Merlot 0.75L

Masseto 2018 - Italy's Most Iconic Wine

Masseto 2018 is one of the world's most prestigious and sought-after wines, produced by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia in the Toscana IGT, Bolgheri region. This exceptional red wine is made from 100% Merlot grapes sourced from a single 7-hectare vineyard with unique blue clay (Pliocene) soils.

Unique Blue Clay Terroir

The Masseto vineyard is divided into three distinct areas with different types of clay, each contributing unique characteristics. The Pliocene blue clay is extremely rare and gives the wine extraordinary structure, depth, and aging potential. This unique terroir is the secret behind Masseto's greatness.

Minimalist Winemaking Philosophy

Masseto's winemaking philosophy is to follow nature without forcing things. The vines are carefully managed by hand, with meticulous attention to every detail. In the cellar, minimal intervention is the keyword – the extraordinarily concentrated grapes do not require sophisticated winemaking, just simple and respectful operations.

Sublime Tasting Profile

Masseto 2018 displays complex and deep aromas of ripe dark fruits, plums, black cherries, sweet spices, dark chocolate, mineral notes, and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it reveals supreme elegance, with a velvety texture, silky and perfectly integrated tannins, excellent freshness, and an extraordinarily persistent finish that lingers for minutes.

Collector's Wine

Masseto is a collector's wine with enormous aging potential (20-30 years or more). Perfect for special occasions and to accompany noble red meats, game, black truffles, and haute cuisine dishes.
